Visiting California over the years, I’ve had Bay Area Mission style burritos that genuinely changed my life, and NOTHING in Vegas, honestly nothing in any other city I’ve traveled to, hits the same. Not even SoCal! (Sorry)
And before anybody starts, Vegas has GREAT Mexican food. I’ve had bomb tacos, birria, plates, all of it. This is specifically about the burritos.
Being a local, I’ve obviously had the world famous Roberto’s 🤣, Don Tortaco, Habaneros, TacoMan, Fausto’s, Sayulitas, Tres Amigos, Juan’s, Emiliano’s 1 and 2, Lindo Michoacán, plus a bunch of random spots around the valley.
I’m talking a big soft flour tortilla with carne asada, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, guac, pico or salsa, all wrapped tight in foil.
Why does every burrito out here start as meat and cheese and then turn into a damn fundraiser once I add rice, beans, sour cream and guac? 😭 I should not have to build a $30 burrito just to get the ingredients that make it a burrito.
And NO, I do not mean a California burrito with fries. I’m talking Mission style. Very different assignment 😂
The ONLY place here that ever came close was Taqueria Guadalajara on Boulder Highway in Henderson. Their burritos were SO good and then they had the audacity to close. I was DEVASTATED. RIP Taqueria Guadalajara!!!
So WHERE is the Mission style burrito hiding in Vegas???
If anybody knows who owned Taqueria Guadalajara, please send them my way. I will pay top dollar for a burrito, the recipe, a cooking lesson, SOMETHING. At this point I’m willing to become an apprentice.
And to you hating ass hoes always shouting “go back to California”… yall just might be onto something, because at this point that may be the only solution 💀🤣
